- Ua like nō a like
- Me ka ua kani lehua
- Me he ala e ʻi mai ana
- Aia i laila ke aloha
-
- Hui:
- ʻO ʻoe nō kaʻu i ʻupu ai
- Kuʻu lei hiki ahiahi
- ʻO ke kani a nā manu
- I nā hola o ke aumoe
-
- Maʻanei mai kāua
- He welina paʻa i ka poli
- A nāu nō au e ʻimi aʻe
- A loaʻa i ke aheahe a ka makani
He moani kaʻu i honi
ʻOiai eia i ka midnight
Me nā kipona waianuhea
Ka maʻalo aʻe i kuʻu maka

- It is like the rain
- That produces the lehua
blossom
- It
seems to be saying
- "Love is there"
-
- Chorus:
- You are the one I'm thinking of
- My beloved who comes in the evening
- When the song of the birds are heard
- And when night has fallen
-
- That you and I are here together
- With a love that binds us both
- So let me go to seek you
- Where the gentle breezes blow
I smell a wind borne perfume
Here at midnight
With other subtle odors
That pass before me
